storing data in session variable

[rakeshou]

I want to store the username and login_id in the session .

i am tryin to do this.

$session = $q->cookie(-name=>$session->name,-value=>$session->id); #session cookie
                 $session{"username"}   =        $q->param("$usernameVar");
                 $session{"login_id"}   =        $q->param("$login_id");
                 $cookie13 = $q->cookie(-name=>'login_id',-value=>$login_id); #cookie 1
                 print $q->header(-location=>'show_profile.pl',-cookie=>[$cookie13,$session]);

Software error:

Global symbol "%session" requires explicit package name at /var/

http://www/cgi-bin/catalog/testlogin.pl

line 145.
Global symbol "%session" requires explicit package name at /var/

http://www/cgi-bin/catalog/testlogin.pl

line 146.
Execution of /var/

http://www/cgi-bin/catalog/testlogin.pl

aborted due to compilation errors.

I have defined the session variable as:

my $session;

if i just write

$session = $q->cookie(-name=>$session->name,-value=>$session->id); #session cookie
$cookie13 = $q->cookie(-name=>'login_id',-value=>$login_id); #cookie 1
print $q->header(-location=>'show_profile.pl',-cookie=>[$cookie13,$session]);

it works fine by just sending session cookie to the HTTP header.

Please help.
